The Local Show: January 19, 2012

This week, The Local Show features The Whole Person, David Westbrook, Quality Hill Playhouse and What KCPT Means to You Part Two.

This week, The Local Show profiles The Whole Person, the local organization that has been an advocate for people with disabilities for over 30 years. Cynthia Wheeler Linden talks to David Westbrook about his impressive career. Randy Mason gives as behind the scenes look at Quality Hill Playhouse, an intimate theater that plays host to musicals and cabaret revues of catchy classics from musical theatre and the American Songbook. And we continue our celebration of KCPT’s 50 years with a little help from our viewers.
